Vegas Baby!!!

I can't believe I am actually in Las Vegas! The city that never sleeps... or is that New York city?? Well it doesn't matter I am here. I have been working the Memory Trends conferance and having a great time meeting the nicest people from all over the world! I never go anywhere unless I drive and I flew here and I actually saw some really incredible things and met some great peeps on the plane! Night in Vegas is awesome! The lights and the noises are amazing! Except for the guys passing out the card with the naked women on them! Over it!!

My feet hurt soooo bad yesterday that I stayed in my room and didn't do a thing! That is just not like me at all. Now I am waiting for Princess Amanda to get done with a meeting about her website so we can paint this town Purple!!! lol

Oh by the way, today is my 9th wedding anniversary! Trey sent me chocolate covered strawberries to our suite! How AWESOME is that? Amanda and I both cried! He really had to go through quite a bit to get that done! I love him so very much and time apart reminds me! I really miss him and the kids. I was such a great time here but I am ready to get home to my family and give them hugs and kisses!

Everyone have a wonderful day!

I'm riding a wave!

Oh my goodness! I am exhausted! The disease that must be diagnosable..You know the I can't say no to anyone or anything? I have it! Well this year I am the Pragrams VP on our PTA board and I never thought that would be me. I do all kinds of volunteering for the school! I think it makes me feel closer to my kids. I am also My daughters cheer coach. I am a substitute teacher and a stay at home mom! Cheer is 3 night a week with games on Saturday. My daughter is 7 and she is the oldest one! Of course, all of the moms think that there little darlings are just the perfect little angles and I get stuck with these ladies whispering that they are going to kick my ____ you know what! right in front of my husband! Did I ask for this? Why did I sign up for this?

I am leaving tomorrow to go to Vegas for Memory Trends!! WOOHOO! I am actually stressed out about the parents being upset with me about going out of town! I never go anywhere or do anything for myself! I just want to go to Vegas and have a great time learn something new about myself and enjoy life!

I seriously don't think I am asking to much. Maybe I am asking to much of myself. I mean I did stay up all week making buckets and spirit sticks and a run through banner for the cheerleaders and did about 50 book orders for the teachers. I worked and I guess I did keep the house somewhat staightened up. I had cheer practice 3 nights and pictures 1 night. PTA executive board meeting was on Tuesday. Maybe I give to much of myself to others and not enough to my family. Oh I have alot to think about while I am in Vegas!

Have you ever been so exhausted that you can't sleep? I still have so much to do tomorrow before we go to the airport. Paula and Amanda are picking me up at 12nooon and We have a game at 10am and I still have to pick up medicine and finish packing and will probably stinky from the game. i probably don't even have to be there but is my daughter and sons first game!
I love them so much and don't want to disapoint them.

My daughter didn't win the spirit stick today at the peprally and she cried and was sooo upset! I wish I could give her everything but what is that teaching her. Then the team mom said don't worry I will make everybody one! What! What are we teaching them! Just cry and you will get whatever you want!

I have never been surfing and I don't know how all that stuff works but one day this wave may crash and I hope I am not the wrong side when the wave comes crashing down. My wish is that I can find the center of the board and ride the wave all the way to the shore!
